Joanne & Eddie's campaign for Alzheimer's Society

150 MILES FOR ALZHEIMER'S SOCIETY We have set ourselves a challenge to run 150 miles in August (75 miles each) to raise money for Alzheimer's Society, a charity that supports people with dementia & their families. Alzheimer's is a disease that affects my close family & we want to support the amazing work that Alzheimer's Society has been doing during the coronavirus outbreak. People living with dementia are disproportionately affected by coronavirus. Many are over 65, at greater risk of isolation and loneliness, and reliant on the social care system for support. Throughout, Alzheimer's Society has been campaigning for Government support in social care & in the NHS, as well as for support in society to make sure that people with dementia have access to food & essential services during the coronavirus pandemic. (Info from alzheimers.org.uk) 100% of all donations will go directly to the charity & every contribution will help us reach our £300 target & keep us motivated to push through these miles! We will record our runs on Strava, to keep track of our mileage & we will post updates on our Facebook & Instagram accounts so you can see our progress. A big thank you in advance to everyone who supports us & donates! More information about Alzheimer's Society: Alzheimer's Society commits itself to maintaining, improving and promoting its unique knowledge and understanding of dementia. It seeks to define and develop quality in its activities and services, to be inclusive of all communities but in particular people with dementia, their families and the professionals who work with them and to work in partnership with other organisations which share its aims.
